Everyday Is Silent And Grey:

It hasn't been a particularly blogworthy day today, but I did finish my Christmas song article for Blogcritics, so I thought I'd better link to it from here as well. It's called Ten Christmas Songs That Won't Make Me Want To Turn My Radio Off and I'll probably publish it here tomorrow or the next day, but for now it's only available over there.

The weather here is absolutely dismal. It's cold, windy, grey, cloudy, and it's been raining all day. It's not like I'd be out jumping rope if the weather was nice, but I had to walk to a couple of different offices today while at work and it's just not as much fun when you're cold and wet.

I started checking out the Guardian website every day and it's really cool. I had noticed that a lot of the British blogs I read link to articles from the Guardian on a regular basis, so I finally looked through the site the other day and there are some really great articles there. Obviously, I didn't read their articles on foreign policy or finance, but went straight for the arts section, where I found a cool article about Conor Oberst and one on Bill Hicks. And I'll definitely be reading Colin Paterson's columns from now on.

And the award for most annoyingly infectious single of the moment goes to Liam Lynch: United States of Whatever!

Oh, you've done it! You've quoted my favorite song. Ah!

Which ones did you miss? How about The Pretenders' excellent 2000 Miles?

He's gone,
2000 miles,
Is very far.
The snows falling down,
It's colder day by day.
I miss you.
I can hear people singing,
It must be Christmas time.
I hear people singing,
It must be Christmas time.

Embarrasingly enough I don't even know the song 2000 Miles, so that's a hole in my pop knowledge that needs fixing.

And as for Everyday is like Sunday I started liking the song even more, when I realized he wasn't saying that every day was like Sunday, but he was actually talking about escaping his boring everyday life in the coastal town they forgot to close down (Armageddon - Come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come!)
So instead of being an anthem for whiners everywhere it's actually more a song about getting on with your life.
